Merideth!
Merideth came to see me!! AND I LOVED IT!
I love seeing old friends that are still best friends.Her husband is even cool! and our kids played a little. Hoping to see her again before 10 more years go by!!
Days 12 and 13, Driving Home
Goodbye WISCONSIN! We’ll be back. We drove 15 or 16 hours on Saturday!
The water Towers were the Highlight of the drive – Tiago and Millie loved seeing them and calling them out and it made it fun for all of us to try and see them first. The first water tower we saw on the way out looked like a hot air balloon so that’s what Millie and Aggs called them most of the trip.
Some other trip highlights: Rose really really liked the creepy cabin. It was scary and it was her first time but she really wants to go in it next time. Packer: Going to the beach was so fun. Tiago: well don’t like mosquito bites. Millie: I liked all of the swimming.
Sunday morning we had a big hotel breakfast and finished the last 8 hours. The kids were happy to be home and out of the car. The raspberries were waiting for us and the dog and the toys and our beds. Millie and Tiago ran right out to find the neighbor friends. And we got Benji all packed for scout camp the next morning!

Our last day at the Rushes!! The kids woke up wanting to do EVERYTHING 1 more time!
Packer, Luca and Lalo took the Peddle Boat out and went all the way across the lake and got stuck trying to come back. All of our group went out in kayaks looking for them. A fishing boat had found them and was bringing them in 🙂
Our family went to PC Junction for lunch! We found our old sign and then we signed the new Netty sign. We had fun exploring and eating:
We had a rainy afternoon. Adults chatted while kids swam or found other things to do:
And ended the night at Malibu Moo’s!
Thursday, Al Johnsons, Adult Dinner, Creepy Cabin
The kids love these carvings at Al Johnsons! and this year we loved walking across the street to the lake while we waited for our turn to eat:
We all chowed on some pancakes and had a lovely time. Our youngest might have chowed on straight butter (eek)
And the goats failed us for the first time :(, But we still managed to get some cool shots in.
And then back to the Pool and Pool Table for the afternoon:
That Evening we went out for dinner with Mom and Dad and their kids: Adult Time!
And then home to entertain the kids with the walk to the Creepy Cabin!
Wednesday, Day 9
Tennis Tournament. Ben and I took 2nd place to Nate and Becky.
We had some down time and some lake time:
Dinner at our house:
And then off to Not Licked Yet!
Tuesday July 10th
OFF to the FARM!!
The first thing you do when you get there is BOTTLE FEED THE BABY GOATS!! It’s the best!
The big goats and other animals eat corn kernels. It’s fun to watch the kids get the nerve to feed them. Tiago didn’t know to keep his hand flat so he got bit right in the beginning but that didn’t stop him.
Being brave with the long tongue cow!
The WELL shot 🙂
Ray needed to touch the HORN:
A fun Morning. A quick Custard at Culvers and then back to the Condo. Most of our family hit the lake again:
Cali went to the pool:
And that night we had a family dance at the church. Rick set up all of his DJing stuff and we danced the night away.

Sunday, Day 6 of our trip
There is a small branch of the church in Sturgeon Bay, WI so we were able to go to church on Sunday. We let them know that we were coming since our group more than doubled the size of the branch. They asked Rick and Becky to speak in Sacrament Meeting and they had the kids all sing. It’s Wonderful to have the church wherever we go and be able to renew our weekly covenants. After church we spent the afternoon outside and enjoyed time with family:
